Thank you for Cockington Primary School for being an excellent audience to my poetry assemblies. They produced some great poems at Torquay library and the staff were brilliant to work with.

James | Poet

"My first impression of the school was of the brilliant reception staff who, though clearly very busy, were as welcoming as they were efficient."

Mr Murray | School visitor

Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite, welcoming and respectful of others. At breaktimes, pupils play cooperatively. They speak positively about the inclusive and kind school culture.
